Mailpile VS ImapSync

Have a look at mailpile if you are after a web interface; or, the ever-dependable Thunderbird if you are fine with a desktop application.

mailpile seems good, but I would encripted things and besides this it is well mantained? The dockerfile here is old https://github.com/mailpile/Mailpile. By the way I tested a container, this rroemhild/mailpile, and it seems easy and with a good interface.

Mailpile supports theming. https://github.com/mailpile/Mailpile/wiki/Themes

Take a look at Mailpile.

Mailpile.is comes to mind. Their Twitter account is inactive since 2018, but they did fix some things on Github in November of 2020: https://github.com/mailpile/Mailpile/

> Email is not decentralized. It relies on the central authority of domain registries.

By that definition, almost every chat app is centralized, especially if you include the step of downloading it over HTTPS. In any case, it would be possible to further enhance email using something like SMTorP so that .onion addresses are used instead.[0]

> And then if you do decide that whatever encryption scheme you've chosen is right for you, there's no guarantee any significant mass of people supports it.

The same is true of any system which is proposed as an alternative to email. Admittedly it will be difficult for a UI to convey the security properties of messages when you are interacting with users whose email clients don't support the recommended extensions, but there is always the risk that a recipient will copy-paste the plaintext of your securely sent message into an unsecured channel.

For PC : Thunderbird or Mailpile

You see this https://imapsync.lamiral.info/ ? It's only for mails but it's a great solution.

I've had to do large email migrations before and honestly, imapsync is the way to go - https://github.com/imapsync/imapsync

Do your parents have a domain, or are they just using the provider's domain? I've set up my 1522+ to backup our mail accounts using MailPlus on the Synology, and IMAPSYC running on my lab server. But it's backup only, not archiving. That technology could be used to get to your desired state, but there's some work involved to make a secure connection from the internet to your Synology possible, sync/archive the mail, configure you parent's devices to find your device, etc.

Check out imapsync (https://imapsync.lamiral.info/) - I am using it since years and migrated tousands of mailboxes without any problems.

Check https://github.com/imapsync/imapsync

I would use https://imapsync.lamiral.info/ for email and sure there is another tool for contacts and calenders.

There are two solutions for this 1. Using a tool called imap-sync to sync all your emails (it has a great incremental sync). You can run it periodically via cron 2. Using the same or similar tool and export to a database.

If you want to sync from one IMAP server directly to another, there's also the very popular imapsync: https://github.com/imapsync/imapsync

Have a look at imapsync. Source: former web hosting sysadmin. Used this many times to move email.
